Castor Oil Here I Come!!


Dear Castor Oil,

My name is Anna Beal. I am currently 38 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. I know that there are many women who just love to be pregnant. I am not one of them. I have heard that you have some kind of "magic power" making babies come when they are ready. Although I cannot read minds, I know that my baby is ready. Two weeks ago my cervix was 50% softened and her head was down. Now I wasn't really dilated, but that's no big deal. Since then, her head has engaged further. I know because I feel like all my bones in the lower region are going to break at any time. I am at my whits end. I'm hoping you'll be my friend and help this process along. Now I've heard it may not be fun....since you are a Laxative, but in my opinion, some laxative would be greatly appreciated after the baby....if you know what I mean. My Mom had great results with you and I'm hearing that from others. So tonight at Midnight (because today is the Sabbath), I will be making a scheduled midnight visit to Walgreens where I will pick you up. Following that I will bring you back to my place where you will meet Ice Cream Milkshake. Together I am hoping you will work that "magic". I know I may not get much sleep, but who are we kidding, that isn't happening much anyway. So, see you early early early.

ps. I promise I will try to be a trooper, but desperate times call for desperate measures!

  5. I don't know if you're brave or crazy...I think I'd rather be pregnant than in the bathroom all night getting rid of the castor oil as I've heard many people say. Anyway, hope she comes soon for your sake and Lexi is an adorable name! (one of our choices too)
